A disability is an event that can change your life in an instant. A car
accident can lead to paralysis. A workplace accident in a factory can cause
your arm to be amputated. A slip and fall can cause severe head trauma.

In these situations, you may be unable to work. Without work, there is no
income. Without income, you cannot pay your bills. How do you buy groceries
or pay your mortgage?

The good news is that
Social Security Disability benefits
can help you during this difficult time. If you have a disability that
prevents you from working, you can apply for these benefits and receive
compensation while you are off work.

● Temporary Partial Disability Benefits (TPD). These
benefits are available when a person is temporarily unable to perform the
full duties of the job but can perform restricted duties. They are paid at
70% of the person’s weekly wage.

● Permanent Total Disability Benefits (PTD). These
benefits are paid at 70% of the person’s weekly ages and payable for
workplace injuries that result in permanent and total disability. These
benefits are paid for 15 years or until the person reaches the age where he
or she can receive maximum Social Security retirement benefits, whichever
is longer.

● Permanent Partial Impairment Benefits (PPI). These
benefits are available for workers who suffer job-related injuries that are
permanent but do not result in total disability. Benefits are payable at
70% of the injured workers’ weekly wage.
